Fixing the economy

[Cicero]

Who will do it, or do best, Mitt Romney or Barrack Obama? Obama has been in for 4 years, and the economy has only gotten worse...

[Twilly F. Sniper]

Neither will do it. They both will hurt it.

I don't believe either will be able to 'fix' the economy. No one has a spell that they can just cast over the usa that will make everything better.
However, romney has a much better chance than obama.

I think Obama inherited a mess from Bush, and had to spend his four years fixing it. The economy was also getting worse when he took power, so there was really nothing he could do.

I think Obama and Romney would be about the same, but Romney might be a bit better at fixing the economy, just because it is higher up as a priority for him. I think Obama would be a better president for other reasons, though.

Romney is looking to simply put in place Austerity which will not work. Greece tried Austerity and they are much worse than we are now with unemployment almost double ours.

Another Obama Stimulus will work and Romney will only hurt our Economy. By the way I am neither Republican or Democratic, more like Independent so my views are not biased.

They will both hurt it. Obama might make it worse, but Romney will just corporate it, while not fixing a damn thing.

Like I said before, the only people not winning this election are the American people, sadly. I really hope we do not end up like poor Greece, as I hear the Golden Dawn party is getting a bit stronger every day. Kind of scary, since if we do not end this economic collapse around the world I am sure other radical parties and ideologies will revive again like during the 20's-30's.

How would it be bad that they revive like in the 30s ? The 30s era had great morals and values.

I mean when radical Ideologies like Fascism and Communism rose easily during that crisis. If it gets as bad as the 20's, I am sure in the 2020's more radical ideologies will take place.

You know, that's not exactly true. I do believe that Mitt Romney has a better chance of helping our economy over time. Obama will only mess it up more than it is right now if we give him a second term. I don't think that Obama necessarily deserves a second term. He has not done anything to fix it and even though his new commercial may say he will do something about it, I don't believe one word of it. Mitt Romney. I don't really like either to be honest but Romney has a better chance than Obama.

The economy hasn't gotten worse these past few years; it's gotten somewhat better and then stagnated. This is a depression and there is only so much that any President can do about it, especially one who has to deal with a recalcitrant Congress. You have to remember that the crash unfolded under the Bush Administration, not this one, so you can't blame Obama for that!

Anyways, I will vote for Obama this Nov. because although I am not crazy about him, all the GOP will do is use the economic problems as a pretext to slash taxes and cut federal spending. America is falling behind in all sorts of ways, and it's not because we aren't competitive enough, it's because we don't prioritize investing in education and infrastructure like other countries do.

I correct myself, neither will help.

Romney though I think will hurt America in other ways.

Neither, in my opinion. It will take a long term plan to fix the economy. In this bipartisan government, a long term plan is impossible; even if Obama came up with a plan, the Republicans would remove it once they take hold of office, viceversa.

[War-Is-Real]

Neither. Both will hurt it.
However Mitt Romney is the lesser of two evils.
Now if Marco Rubio got into politics, then we will have a good eco. Get him in for eight years and we will be #1 in an instant.
PLEASE BE ROMNEY AMERICA! PLEASE BE FUCKIN ROMNEY AND WE NEED OUR CONGRESS TO CHANGE TO DESTROY OBAMACARE!
